Gold bears approach $1,930 support on US debt ceiling extension
Technical analysis:
Let's begin by creating boxes in frame H1 and doing so before new news is released. Our attention should be on the approaching EMA 34 and EMA 89, which are moving towards the box top range. While the RSI is below average, it has not yet hit the alarming level. Additionally, the trading volume remains constant and at a low level.
Market Outlook:
Economic woes, US debt ceiling concerns continue to lend support
Currently, the equity markets are experiencing a softer tone due to worries about the global economic slowdown and the US debt ceiling. However, this situation could offer some support to the safe-haven Gold price and limit any deeper losses. Unfortunately, the negotiations between Democrats and Republicans to raise the government's $31.4 trillion borrowing limit have not made much progress. Additionally, Fitch has placed the US on negative watch for its top-level "AAA" rating, while credit rating agency DBRS Morningstar has put the US on review for a downgrade on Thursday. These factors have reduced investors' desire for riskier assets.
